Since you asked so nicely. There are a couple things I might move around, but I don't play MCH much so meh. You may notice I don't have potions, LB, etc there....I use hotbar 8 and the L2+R2 to call up that hotbar. In addition, I try to keep things in the same place(s) as my BRD hotbars, to reinforce muscle memory.

Macros are for setting Rook underneath me and setting Bishop underneath a targetted mob, respectively.

I'm new to MCH as well and thanks for showing your crossbar setup. I'd love to see some others as well for variety!

Specific question about yours... wouldn't you want to have two macros for each turret though? One that sets the rook next to you and another that sets it next to the enemy? Just thinking about it for when you want to promote/demote quickly.

Some people have been noticing that something seems different about OGCDs in 3.3, they seem to execute a little faster and feel more responsive - the actual total delay is the same though I think, so it's not like we can triple weave now or something. I think they just increased the buffer window to chain skills one after the other and made them fire off more responsively like the recent

It definitely feels that way, especially with Rapid Fire weaving.

Also, has it been mentioned at all that it seems like MCH has a minimum SPD value where everything aligns really tight like DRG?

Outof Names guide mentions that the openers should be doable with 475+ skill speed.

Aiurily's MCH FAQ has some skill speed threshold information as well:
http://www.tinyurl.com/aiurilyfaq
"the rotation flows more fluidly and comfortably (imo) at either below 460 sksp or 704+ sksp. i consider anything in between to be a bit awkward. in the end, these are not huge deal breaking thresholds; you should still prioritize maximizing crit and det."

If you look at gear for most top MCH in lodestone, they're usually sitting at around 500-something skill speed.

[Komoritane]

One thing I probably should've mentioned though is that if you have to use the same gear set for BRD and play both, then you might consider shooting for closer to ~700 sks since that's more optimal for BRD, if BRD is your main.

Thanks. Was just curious since currently I have a 2.4s GCD and everything just seems to line up smoother than when I had a 2.47 ish GCD. Although not sure if it translates to a higher pps
